I Love Kids!

Hello all! A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks. I went to the Tumwater Boys and Girls Club again. I love going there and having the opportunity to educate kids and be a positive role model for them. We had a talk about Diabetes, which was an interesting conversation to have with a bunch of 5-12 year olds. They were very enthusiastic and had tons of questions and really contributed a lot of insight to the lesson. The funniest thing happened. The kids really wanted me to sing and so I sang a song for them, then they wanted me to sing like 5 other songs, then when it was time for me to leave they begged their Girl Scout leader to let me stay for their meeting. We had a fun singing competition where all the girls got to show their talent. Then we colored tickets to Hollywood and gave them to each other! :)



I went to the Miss Auburn pageant, which was a very fun night. The Miss Auburn pageant is the largest local competition in the Miss America Organization. There were 21 contestants! I had a lot of fun visiting with the other local title-holders. It was especially funny when the curtain fell on Miss Washington! I love watching pageants and it always touches me somewhere special when I see the crowning of that lucky girl!





This last weekend I had the honor of being a reader for the Lacey Loves to Read program. I was able to travel to 2 elementary schools and read the preschool class a story. Thank you Susan Joy at Pleasant Glade Elementary and Marie Koehler at Faith Lutheran for allowing me to come to your classroom. Your students were a pleasure to read to.



I am so excited for the next upcoming events and can’t wait to tell you all about it! Check out missthurstoncounty.com to view the appearance calendar.

Until next time,
